Volume is not the same question as price
Madinat Al Mataar has the most studio sales in absolute terms, but City Of Arabia is where they make up the largest share of the local market at 76.9% — a sign of what that area is actually built for, independent of its overall size.
What this counts
This is unit count by recorded bedroom configuration, not floor area — a "1 B/R" varies in size across buildings and areas. Check the specific listing's floor plan before comparing on space.
